Detailed Solution

Term “food security” refers to the availability, accessibility and affordability of food to all people at all times.
1)      As breathing requires air, so does life, it requires food. However, having enough food to have two square meals is not enough. The following elements contribute to food security:
2)      Food availability includes domestic food production, food imports, and the previous year's stock kept in government granaries.
3)      Accessibility means the food is within reach of every person.
4)      Affordability denotes the possession of sufficient financial resources to purchase an adequate supply of wholesome food to satisfy one's dietary requirements.
5)      As a result, a nation's food security is only guaranteed if there is enough food for every individual. All people have the financial means to purchase food of a wholesome standard.
